With my old tires I would occasionally "bottom out" when going over a dip at higher speeds. It was so seldom that I didn't worry about it. Now, with my new Goodyear Triple-Treads, it happens much too often....bumps, dips, extra weight in the car. What's happening is that the bottom of the coil spring assembly is rubbing the inside tread of the tire. Even though I bought the same size as what I had, the tire seems a little wider, plus the fact that there's more new tread now. I should also mention that they're aftermarket wheels, and I don't know what their offset is. So.....what's going on? Worn Struts? Can I buy some type of bracket/spacer to get more clearance? Maybe some type of wheel spacer to move the wheel/tire out farther? I looked at some lift kits that spread out the spring coils, but I don't think that will help any since it's the bottom of the spring that's hitting the tire. Any ideas??????
TIA, Rick
